Imagine the Possibilities

Ok, I have a very hypothetical situation. What if Peyton Manning doesn't like what the Colts' brass are doing? What if he decides they are never going to do what it takes to win another championship? Well, Peyton should be willing to take the show on the road. There is one team in the league that is begging for his arrival. He would bring the first championship to this team after several very good chances. I speak of the Minnesota Vikings.

Can you imagine what Peyton would do with Adrian Peterson in the backfield with him? They would be unstoppable. The Vikings would have to beef up their offensive line a little and they would have to get one more receiver, but that's it. They have a vastly superior defense to the Colts'. The only reason they gave up points this season was because their offense could not stay on the field. Brett Favre finally got too old and Tarvaris Jackson is just hopeless. Joe Webb might actually have a bright future in the league. The guy can move and he's not a bad passer. But he's going to need a few years on the bench to develop his skills.

There's no way the Colts are going to let Peyton go, but it's fun to ponder the possibilities. I'm sure he would be welcome with open arms upon arrival in Minnesota. Though I don't think they would make the mistake sending the coach to greet him at the airport like they did with Favre. We all know what that crap led to.

Peyton is going to be a Colt for the duration of his career, but he should seriously consider going elsewhere if they don't get their act together. Even Johnny Unitas played for a different team, the Chargers, at the end of his career. Johnny U is the ultimate Colt. Of course he had zero affiliation with the Indianapolis Colts and I can't blame him for that. I love the Colts, but they should have left the name in Baltimore. Unfortunately the name was packed in one of those boxes on the Mayflower.

Just take some time to reflect on the possibilities of this (impossible) union. I wish.
